Method and handheld electronic device for improved calendar user interface navigation
First Claim
1. A method of editing calendar information on handheld electronic device comprising a display screen and a touchpad for receiving navigational input in a first and a second direction, the method comprising:
- displaying a calendar event user interface on the display screen, the calendar event user interface comprising a first field and an adjacent second field;
while in an edit mode, displaying an indicator indicating selection of the first field, and changing a value of the first field in response to receiving at the touchpad a navigational input in a first direction; and
displaying an indicator indicating selection of the adjacent second field for editing in response to receiving at the touchpad a navigational input in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction.

Abstract
A method, handheld electronic device and computer program product for inputting calendar information using a graphical user interface (GUI) of a calendar application are provided. The GUI is displayed on a display screen of the handheld electronic device which comprises a navigational input device for receiving navigational input in a first and a second direction. The method comprises: displaying a calendar event user interface screen on the display screen of the handheld electronic device, the calendar event user interface screen comprising a primary field having at least two subfields; invoking an edit mode of the primary field in response to predetermined user selection input; redisplaying the calendar event user interface screen to provide a visual indication that the edit mode is currently invoked for the primary field; changing the logical value of a selected subfield in response to navigational input in the first direction and redisplaying the changed value of the selected subfield in the calendar event user interface screen; and selecting an adjacent subfield in response to navigational input in the second direction and redisplaying the adjacent subfield to provide a visual indication that the adjacent subfield is the selected subfield in the calendar event user interface screen.
